26 December 2015

It can be difficult to start dating again after a serious relationships ends. Some women report that they feel ready to date as soon as the split is announced; the vast majority say that they need a period of time to grieve, heal and begin to discover who they are – and what they want from a new relationship. But many feel that their dating confidence is not what it can or should be and this is holding them back from getting back into dating and meeting new people all together.If you fall into the latter camp, you may notice that once you've taken time to sort out your emotional and mental needs and some time has passed, it feels awfully intimidating to get back into the dating game. Depending on the length of your previous relationship, you may have been out of the singles scene for decades and have no idea how to navigate online romance.Perhaps you are the only single woman in your friendship circle and you feel like you have no one to talk to about your new dating concerns. Or maybe you had your self confidence rattled by infidelity and lies, and the mere thought of a new love fills you with anxiety and dread.The most important thing to remember?

You are not alone – and there is help out there. Forget all of the tired old stereotypes that you may have heard about dating coaches – today's coaches are well versed in the ins and outs of the dating world, and rather than teaching tricks and deceit, we work to empower clients to find the right person for them and create the relationship they're looking for.
